Emacs/Slime -- Slime wont eval but *inferior-lisp* will (Help a newbie out)
joseph hirn
ubuntu 9.10. I used clojure box for Windows and that was excellent but
this is not running very well for me.
I compiled clojure and clojure-contrib.jar by cloning the
repositories, checking out tag 1.1.0 and building them with ant. I
then followed these instructions to a t (http://riddell.us/tutorial/
slime_swank/slime_swank.html). I've downloaded swank-clojure/slime/
clojure-mode as the instructions but used the latest code (I did not
checkout a different tag). I have also tried emacs and emacs-snapshot,
both installed via apt-get.
All seems to be well when I M-x slime, but if I enter (+ 1 2) it just
hangs. If I switch to the *inferior-lisp* buffer and type this
expression it returns 3 as expected.
The only other thing that seems strange is my *inferior-lisp* has this
in it:
(require 'swank.swank)
(swank.swank/ignore-protocol-version "2010-02-14")
(swank.swank/start-server "/tmp/slime.26582" :encoding "iso-latin-1-
unix")
Clojure 1.1.0

Those instructions are pretty old. Have you tried the official readme?
http://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure
Be sure to remove all the manual configuration from following the old
instructions.

I have the same problem, as documented here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.clojure.user/24894/focus=24956
In the *inferior-lisp* buffer, try evaluating the following form:
(.. java.lang.management.ManagementFactory (getRuntimeMXBean) (getName))
Does that cause SLIME's REPL to finally connect to Swank?

issues. Sorry for being a newbie.
Do I still have to do manual edits to my .emacs file for swank-
classpath and whatnot? I started with a blank .emacs file
and .emacs.d directory and followed the recommend use of ELPA. When
installing via ELPA I get the following output to my *Compile-Log*
buffer:

per the readme file on swank-clojure homepage (using ELPA) and now
the problem is that slime never loads. The expression you gave me does
eval in the *inferior-lisp* buffer but I do not get a slime connection
at all now. It is stuck with this at the bottom:
Polling "/tmp/slime/28940".. (Abort with `M-x slime-abort-connection')

What does it say in the *inferior-lisp* buffer? Any messages?
There were some issues with the auto-download of Clojure jars in older
versions Emacs. You can try removing your ~/.swank-clojure directory
and retrying, or you could try upgrading to a recent version of Emacs
(23).

The message above where I get FileNotFoundException Could not locate
swank is from my *inferior-lisp* buffer.
I am using emacs 23. I've tried with this and the gtk-snapshot
versions togging using update-alternative --config emacs.
I do not have a ~/.swank-clojure directory. I do have a swank-
clojure-1.1.0 directory from the swank install via elpa in ~/.emacs.d/
swank-clojure-1.1.0 but I have tried deleting that manually several
times and reinstalling it via elpa, no dice. I also had some seemingly
related files in ~/src but I removed all of those to start as fresh as
possible.
I do have CLOJURE_EXT set to ~/.clojure where the clojure.jar and
clojure-contrib.jar files are. Not sure if that affects anything. I
also have the clojure-contrib launcher linked to /usr/bin/clj for
command line REPL which works great.
Thanks again for your help.

When you invoke M-x slime, it should ask you if you want to install
Clojure. If you say yes, it downloads the jars into ~/.swank-clojure.
If it's not doing that, it's hard to say what's going wrong. Maybe you
have an older copy of slime installed via apt-get alongside the elpa
version?

and I seem to be having the same problem.
Below is a manually edited log of what I did. It appears that there is a compilation error in slime-repl.el and that everything after that fails (e.g. m-x slime complains that some swank files cannot be found).
Any suggestions?

- find / -name '*slime*' -print

- echo $CLASSPATH - it's empty
- edited .emacs and removed ref to elpa

From the readme you linked to above:

Since elisp can work in either compiled or interpreted mode,
compilation errors don't mean the package failed to install. It just
means it will run in interpreted mode.

[Maybe this is just a problem with my incorrect expectations? I don't expect to see java exceptions at the points a and b below, plus the dead inferior-lisp.]
OK, if I ignore the two errors (not warnings), and continue on
a) If I type m-x slime, this appears (note, no question is asked about loading clojure):
(require 'swank.swank)
(swank.swank/ignore-protocol-version nil)
(do (.. java.net.InetAddress getLocalHost getHostAddress) nil)(swank.swank/start-server "/tmp/slime.27491" :encoding "iso-latin-1-unix")

user=> user=> nil
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: swank.swank (NO_SOURCE_FILE:5)

b) further ignoring that, I type m-x swank-clojure-project and this appears in the *inferior-lisp* buffer (note, no ~/.swank-clojure directory was created ; and, if I create a file containing (+ 2 3), then hit c-x c-e, emacs just beeps):
(require 'swank.swank)

I had the same problem.
I created ~/.swank-clojure directory, and downloaded there swank-
clojure-1.1.0.jar from http://repo.technomancy.us/. Now M-x slime
works.

jars into .swank-clojure is what never happened and why it never
worked through elpa. Downloading the swank-clojure jar manually fixed
the problem.
I'm not sure if you manage the swank-clojure install via elpa but
please let me know if there are any details I can provide regarding my
system where it failed to download the jarfile for me (assuming it was
supposed to). In general it was a 4 day old Ubuntu 9.10 with emacs23
installed.
And thanks for swank clojure man. It's a really great REPL and worth
any trouble I may have had installing it.
